Al-Saadawi: The decision regarding the premiership rests on two names…no alternatives have been proposed.
Member of the Reconstruction and Development Committee, Abdul Hadi al-Saadawi, revealed on Wednesday that the competition for the premiership has narrowed down to only two names, ruling out the possibility of any “compromise candidates” at this stage.
. Al-Saadawi told Al-Maalouma, “Talk of proposing alternative names or new candidates for the position of the next prime minister is baseless,” explaining that “the political circles have not yet witnessed the emergence of any name as a compromise candidate.”
He added that “the competition remains fierce and is limited to Nouri al-Maliki, head of the State of Law Coalition, and the current caretaker Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani,” noting that “understandings within the political blocs are still focused on these two options without resorting to third options at present.”
The political arena is witnessing continuous activity to resolve the issue of the largest bloc and the selection of the new prime minister amidst differing viewpoints among the influential forces.
